Description

I was approached online. Somebody presented themselves as a TikTok shop affiliate. They presented themselves with somebody with years of experience and knowledge. I was less than a couple of months new to TikTok, and had earned the opportunity to become an affiliate. After a few weeks of trying myself, I reached out for advice. Once this person talked to me a few times about TikTok shop they presented an opportunity to help funnel sales and other affiliate jobs. I resisted at first for quite a while and continue to keep in contact with this person via text and TikTok. The preferred method of contact as WhatsApp….long story short….. once this individual had befriended me, they very aggressively, pushed the opportunity to utilize this technique and platform. I worked my way into investing the minimal amount of $480 to begin. The initial progress was great, a few phone calls, and setting up an app. I received emails and confirmations via my personal email set up with the platform online and website. Personal information was shared because of the nature of the potential to earn money and monetize. Once my initial investment showed great potential, I was directed to focus more on investment and less the affiliate marketing bot. I was directed over period of several weeks, extending over a full calendar month to make small contributions in order to upgrade my subscription, invest in a signal, and several other business like transactions. Every time I was advised to send to my digital tips investment wallet via bitcoin. I was told the deposits would reflect immediately this way and transactions could be taken care of seamlessly in order to continue with business. When it became time to finalize my trade, more fees and money or requested in order to satisfy a commission. I was also instructed to pay a fee for the transaction. All of this through the normal process of bitcoin into my digital wallet then transfer to the platform, digital tips investments. Along the way I would receive confirmations via email on my transactions with approvals. Once it became time to finalize my withdrawal, I was instructed how to go about this and completed the steps provided by the platform and the support. I received the normal approval emails and even shared text messaging with Support via the app and received approvals for my withdrawal for the trade that we have been working on for over a month. I was told that the transfer would happen within 20 to 30 minutes. The transfer did not happen and the platform communication went silent for several hours. When communication picked back up, the support department informed me that I need to follow a couple of steps in order to finalize my withdrawal. The individual on Support instructed me to go to my account on digital tipsinvestments.com and withdraw another dollar amount. They were very aggressive and needing me to do this quickly and do it very specifically. Once I did this, there was another period of silence. Then I was emailed not an approval but a letter saying that if I wanted to be approved that I needed to pay an FDIC tax. The letter was signed by a treasurer had very specific directions and a dollar to be deposited into the platforms account. I share emails and conversation with Support on the app over the course of 48 hours. Both individuals continue to insist that I needed to pay nearly $20,000 in a very specific fashion. The assistant number they provided was a WhatsApp phone number. This person was supposed to direct me on how the deposit should be made in order to release my total profit and investment. What needs to be known as that this never followed through. Every opportunity that this platform has to reimburse or pay, they will not do it. There are no current policies online or anywhere on their website with regards to the actual business process. Please be aware that this website in the app they have you download seems very much like a false.
